Venkatesan has done better than Kalki is the description of war. Out of the epic novels, ‘ Ponniyin Selvan’ or Kalki’s triology is considered to be the best but ‘Velpari’ easily beats them by leaps and bounds. Venkatesan makes us believe in the world he has created. When you read books like ‘Lord of the Rings’ you get wooed into their world but as it’s a purely imaginary world its far easier to construct than the world of Velpari. So, with each information it only keeps us more engrossed. I don’t know how much what he describes about plants and animals and anything from nature is actually true but he doesn’t let us think whether its true or not. I firmly believe the policy that if I don’t understand something it’s not meant to be understood but with respect to this book, right from page one, if there was even an iota of doubt, I reread to see to that I understood what I missed.
